[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 233841, member: 9240"] Interesting anecdote about this building, if I can recall things correctly. In the bottom shot you can see an old stone church without a steeple in the background (it almost looks attached). That now houses the Board of Education for the Port Colden School District, which is exactly one elementary school located right next door (OMG, now you know why property taxes are so high in NJ). When the steeple was removed from the old church, which dates back to the early 1800's, the Methodist church, which was built in 1891, purchased the steeple and embarked on a construction project to add it to the existing church. I would have never known that had I not seen this photo from Google street view, which is apparently more than 3 years old... [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]63221._xfImport[/ATTACH] In this photo it's very easy to see the power lines I'm talking about. The car happened to pass by right in the middle of the (de/re)construction project. I have to say, it's a much more eye pleasing building today. [/QUOTE]
